The wildfire hazard is moderate as we head into the weekend. The forecast is for higher humidity levels and potential precipitation on Sunday and Monday.
Keep your campfires small and under control. Make sure they are extinguished before you leave them. Don't rely on the rain to put your fire out!
Remember you need a permit for any burning other than a campfire. Permits are free and available through your local Agriculture and Forestry office.
We didn't have any new wildfires this week. We have ten crews, one helicopter and the air tankers on hand to action any new wildfires this weekend.

If you see smoke or fire in the forest, please call 310-FIRE. Your help in protecting Alberta's forest are is appreciated.
